is pleased to introduce its first collection of exclusive designs
by internationally recognized artists Aziz + Cucher.
Aziz + Cucher have created 9 striking designs which blend motifs from nature with a techno sensibility, bringing a sophisticated contemporary look in which intricate pattern and exquisite color interact. The artists have married their digital aesthetic with the ancient craft of Tibetan rug weaving, pushing traditional carpet design to a new level. Considered pioneers in the field of digital photography, Aziz + Cucher have a long creative career that spans a range of media. After a decade of producing conceptually-driven work that represented the human body in an age of rapid technological change, their work, in 2003, took a decidedly celebratory turn, reveling in the expanded visual possibilities of digital media and resulting in works which represent Nature with startling complexity. They have expertly arrived at their own visual language, in which photographic and painterly techniques are blended together to create a dynamic techno-pointillism. It is this unique language and this very sophisticated sensibility which they bring now to the medium of hand-knotted carpets. Anthony Aziz and Sammy Cucher have been working as a collaborative art team since 1991. Their photography, digital art and video installations have been exhibited at the Venice Biennale, the Hayward Gallery in London, The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York, and the National Gallery of Berlin.
